The following patch assumes the earlier MODE field patch is applied. Regards, Erik If the udev build directory has the setgid-bit set, then gid of the build directory propagates to the test directory and the dummy udev_root directory inside this. This breaks the permission tests. Fix this by explicitly setting gid and mode of udev_root. --- test/udev-test.pl | 15 +++++++++++---- 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/udev-test.pl b/test/udev-test.pl index 8f1030d..72b4aef 100755 --- a/test/udev-test.pl +++ b/test/udev-test.pl @@ -1753,6 +1753,15 @@ sub symlink_test { } } +sub make_udev_root { + system("rm -rf $udev_root"); + mkdir($udev_root) || die "unable to create udev_root: $udev_root\n"; + # setting group and mode of udev_root ensures the tests work + # even if the parent directory has setgid bit enabled. + chown (0, 0, $udev_root) || die "unable to chown $udev_root\n"; + chmod (0755, $udev_root) || die "unable to chmod $udev_root\n"; +} + sub run_test { my ($rules, $number) = @_; @@ -1825,8 +1834,7 @@ sub run_test { print "\n"; if (defined($rules->{option}) && $rules->{option} eq "clean") { - system("rm -rf $udev_root"); - mkdir($udev_root) || die "unable to create udev_root: $udev_root\n"; + make_udev_root (); } } @@ -1839,8 +1847,7 @@ if (!($<==0)) { } # prepare -system("rm -rf $udev_root"); -mkdir($udev_root) || die "unable to create udev_root: $udev_root\n"; +make_udev_root (); # create config file open CONF, ">$udev_conf" || die "unable to create config file: $udev_conf"; -- 1.5.5.1.g1fbb5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
